In case the whole "hit a wall while trying to aim at a target on a different wall" story didn't seem strange, the school has now confirmed he never tried out for the team. Also worth pointing out that many students interviewed said he was just a quiet kid who was not bullied, but the click-worthy headlines came from the kids who said he was bullied.
I'd hold off till we get testimonial from students (we already might have, AFAIK) and coaches in the rifle team before we turn "we have no record of it" into "it didn't happen".
The bullying thing's already been covered so I won't harp on that.
I have 2 middle schooler/high schoolers. Kids are not going to admit to bullying nor know who is being bullied if it's not them doing the bullying or being bullied. They are all way too self involved at those ages.
Fair point on the bullying. But the shooting team claim was always absurd
